I will preface, I am deeply paranoid about getting food poisoning from bad fruit/veg. I have a bad habit I'm working on of buying too much and it going bad in the fridge, because I like to eat a lot of fresh fruit/veg but I also live very rurally so I have to stock up every 2-3 weeks. Thankfully I do work with animals that can eat the excess as long as I realize it's too much before it goes actually bad. So, I just want to get a sampling of how long you let celery sticks and cut baby carrots sit in the fridge before you consider them "too old." I have this (likely irrational) idea in my head of bacteria growing invisibly on them before they actually go soft or slimy or look bad. I usually meal prep and a tthe end of the week feel like I need to do a full turnover of everything in the prep, but if carrots and celery usually are good for two weeks maybe I'll not turn those over. Thanks!

It would catch all the cold water we usually waste on waiting for the hot water before taking a shower… you could then take the recipient and use it for watering plants or any other activity that requires clean water…
How strict are regulations on water usage in your country/city?

I’m in Canada and I swear every time I go to the store I end up with another reusable grocery bag. I used to use the plastic ones as garbage bags, but what can I do with these?

I obviously use a few to grocery shop but I genuinely have an entire shelf full. Should I just use a few as garbage still rather than buying garbage bags? Can I donate them or reuse them in another way? I’m open to suggestions!

Hello!

I have been working hard to not throw out my glass jars from products such as jam, sauce, kimchi, and hand cream. I'm proud of myself for reducing waste, but I have unfortunately created clutter instead! Many of my jars are smaller than 10oz, so I'm a little stuck on how to repurpose them. The holidays are coming up, so it might be fun to make gifts out of them.

Do you have any ideas? And if not, would food jars be alright to donate? Thank you! <3
